Two days, 38 miles, and countless steps, laughs, and memories! Oh, and one pretty incredible aerial group shot.
Thanks to everyone who made our FreeWalkers Weekend in Bethesda so special! We are already looking forward to our next journey together!!!
Please visit our website (Link in Bio) to see what’s coming on our walking calendar next…
What a weekend! For those who frequently ask about our walks and what to expect, this weekend was the perfect example that no two FreeWalker walks are alike. Saturday’s Princeton walk was a remarkable journey through history, thanks to our amazing Charles Updike. Sunday’s Columbia Trail excursion was a stunning walk through nature coordinated by our fearless leader (and President) Risa Olinsky. Just goes to show if you think you can describe FreeWalkers in one sentence, we will make it quite a challenge!
Our walks are always unique, in different locations, different terrains, different people, and different distances.
Please visit our website to see what our calendar has in store for all of us (Link In Bio) — including this month’s Virtual Challenge and an upcoming weekend away next weekend in Bethesda for a magical 38-mile tour over two days (with shorter options available both days). Happy Trails!!!
Wow!!! When it came to his Earthly Expedition (FreeWalkers’ April Virtual Challenge), our one and only David Ascher did not disappoint with his gorgeous Waterfall photos!!!

And thanks to David Ascher for the three gorgeous shots of some new friends we made during Sunday’s journey through Liberty State Park (which David coordinates once a month for anyone interested in joining us in the future)!

Stadiums, schools, murals, armories, and more! So thankful for Violet and Sam Chen for coordinating a most inspiring Bronx Historic District Walk this past Saturday. Goes to show that there is always something to learn, especially on a day with FreeWalker Friends!!!
